You can perform silent (that is, unattended) installations on Windows and Linux as described below.
Performing a silent installation of End-user Tools and the license server on Windows
LM-X End-user Tools can be installed silently (that is, unattended) using msiexec (for details on using msiexec, refer to the Microsoft Developer Network at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367988).
...
C:\lmx-sdk-v4.4.6>msiexec /i lmx-enduser-tools_v4.4.6_win32_x86.msi VENDORDLLPATH=C:\lmx-sdk-v4.4.6\win32_x86\liblmxvendor.dll INSTALLDIR=C:\lmx-enduser-v4.4.6 /qr
Performing a silent installation of the SDK and End-user Tools on Unix
The LM-X SDK and End-user Tools can be installed silently (that is, unattended). The LM-X installer uses makeself, which can be used to automate installation of the SDK and the end user tools on end users' machines. This page lists only the makeself options that are relevant to the LM-X installation (the information below pertains to the SDK, but the same options can be used for end user tools). You can find out more about makeself and the makeself options at http://github.com/megastep/makeself/blob/master/README.md.
Syntax
./lmx-sdk_version_number_platform.sh --option [additional_arguments]
where version_number is your LM-X SDK version number. For example:
./lmx-sdk_v4.4.4_linux_x64.sh --help
Options
The following table lists the options that can be used to get help or information about ./lmx-sdk_version_number_platform.sh:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| --help | Output examples of all available installer actions. |
| --info | Print embedded information: title, default target directory, embedded script, etc. |
| --list | Print the list of files in the archive. |
| --check | Check integrity of the archive. |
The following table lists some of the options that can be used to run ./lmx-sdk_version_number_platform.sh:

...
Following arguments will be passed to the embedded script.
Example
To extract files from the installer without running the installer script, run the command:
./lmx-sdk_v4.4.4_linux_x64.sh --noexec --target /extraction_path
After issuing the above command, all files in the installer are extracted under the specified path. LM-X SDK distribution files are located under /extraction_path/lmx-sdk_platform, where platform is a directory named according to the LM-X SDK platform.
For example, executing ./lmx-sdk_v4.4.4_linux_x64.sh --noexec --target /tmp/lmx_v4.4.4 will create the following four files and one subdirectory under a directory named /tmp/lmx_v4.4.4:
- eula.txt
- install-header.sh
- install.sh
- lacutil
- linux_x64 (subdirectory that contains the LM-X SDK files)
